Paul is telling us to not only guard our thoughts but also to guard our speech.  What we think and what we say affects us.  But it is so difficult to do this.  Remember, this is not something done in a week, not a sprint, not even a marathon; it is a lifelong journey with guideposts along the way and markers that demonstrate your progress.

A little girl was frightened by a large barking dog, and her daddy came and picked her up in his arms.  The dog ran away.  The daddy said the dog is gone, honey; he is not barking now.  The little girl said, I know daddy, but he is still barking inside me.  Isn’t that the truth?  Things that happened to us weeks, months, or even years ago can keep barking on the inside.
